LINCOLN, MARYLAND 

Every thrifty person must invest. The choice of invest- 
ments is world-wide, but the safest and surest investments 
are in choice building lots in a well-selected suburb of 
a growing city. 

Lincoln, Mb., meets every requirement. It is within 
12 minutes' ride of the District of Columbia, and is situ- 
ated on the Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis Electric 
Railway, which claims to be the best constructed and 
managed interurban electric railway in the world. The 
elevation of Lincoln is over 100 feet higher than the 
grounds of the L^nited States Capitol. The trees are 
charmingly beautiful. For three hundred years the vicin- 
ity has been inhabited by some of the most progressive 
families in America, noteworthy among these being that 
of the late Governor Bowie, of Maryland, whose great 
estate adjoins Lincoln. 

All these things should be considered in making an 
investment. Weigh all the imaginary objections against 
Lincoln that you can conjure up, then if in Washington 
City get aboard the palatial " Baltimore' ' cars at the 
United States Treasury or at any crossing street, and come 
out to Lincoln. If in Baltimore take car at Liberty Sta- 
tion or cross street. " Ideal" is the general comment of 
those who have had an opportunity to see.

Better write at once for all particulars. 

"Take the current as it serves." It is so easy to put 
off till to-morrow the opportunity that presents itself to-day 
that you may have heretofore neglected valuable chances 
for investment. Don't neglect this one. Look into it with- 
out delay. Take time to see for yourself. 

The building lots in Lincoln average 50 feet frontage 
to a wide street, by 150 feet depth to a 15-foot alley. 
These lots are sold under our Title, Building and Improve- 
ment Bond, costing $10 down and $4, with a coupon from 
the bond, monthly. The total value of each lot is $400. 
but as $130 of this amount is payable in coupons, the net 
cost of a lot is only $270, and you pay — 

NO TAXES OR INTEREST 

while paying for the lot. 

The Title Bond protects your family or estate in case 
of your death, making provision that if the purchaser dies 
while keeping up his payments, his lot becomes fully paid 
up without his heirs having to make any further pay- 
ments, and they get a clear deed.

THERE'S A REASON 



Washington City is growing northeastward, many mil- 
lions of dollars having been expended in that section of 
the city in recent years. Baltimore is rapidly growing 
toward Washington, the mills, factories, and residences all 
combining to extend the city toward the National Capital. 
The gradual uniting of the two great cities is taking place, 
for the most part, along the line of the interurban electric 
railway that passes through Lincoln. 

A boulevard from Washington to Annapolis, the seat of 
the United States Naval Academy and the capital of 
Maryland, when built, will connect Lincoln with Washing- 
ton and Annapolis by a popular driveway. 

These points prove that Lincoln is where the people 
will want to live. Where the people live real-estate values 
grow. Where values grow investors make money. Then 
why not act now? Secure for yourself one or more Title, 
Building and Improvement Bonds for lots. Savings banks 
and many other forms of investments are good, but you 
must remember that the safest and surest form of invest- 
ment is real estate. Nothing but an earthquake can 
destroy it. Your investment in real estate will grow while 
you sleep. There is no insurance for the family that is 
equal to it.

SUCCEEDING LIKE SUCCESS 



Lincoln has been a success from the start. Over 500 
lots have already been sold and many buildings erected. 
Among those who have invested are Bishops of American 
Churches, Presidents of Colleges, Business Men, Teachers, 
Doctors, Clergymen, Lawyers, Wage Earners, Salaried 
Men and Women, in fact, all classes of thrifty American 
citizens. These people have chosen their investments in 
Lincoln because a casual glance shows the strategic location, 
the high elevation, the accessibility and the beauty of this 
suburb. 

Building operations are constantly under way. The de- 
mand for homes is increasing. Those who have secured 
a lot or lots will soon find that the investment which they 
were able to make on such easy terms will have greatly in- 
creased in value, enabling them to realize a handsome profit 
should they be willing to sell. 

Those who have visited Lincoln have been deeply inter- 
ested in the charming homes, the artistic railway station, 
the system of water works including a half mile of water 
main, a 25,000 gallon reservoir of spring water, a 10,000 
gallon tower to furnish pressure of water with a pumping 
outfit; also the gas plants for light and cooking, the brick 
factory, the church building, the Chautauqua Park and 
Lake, the excellent gardens and fine poultry.
